The new KATflow ultrasonic flowmeters are designed to meet the demands of a wide variety of industry applications, whilst maintaining the Katronic values of accuracy, ease of use and reliability
Offshore success of new ultra-sound flowmeter
The European Offshore Industry has proved to be an ideal testing ground for the new KATflow 160 ultrasonic flowmeter: even on a buoy operating off solar-powered rechargeable cells
The meter electronics are protected by a rugged IP 66 enclosure and the stainless steel sensors can be supplied as IP 68 for applications where there is a risk of immersion.
Since the launch of the KATflow 160, it has proved to be a success in a variety of industries, and has been supplied to a series of applications including: * Crude oil measurement * Condensate measurement on offshore platforms * Light Oil measurement on remote platforms * Multi-product measurement for a European oil company * Special measurement solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.
The flowmeter is extremely quick and easy to install and can be retrofitted to virtually any flow system.
All programming is done using a magnetic pen, meaning that there is no need access the internal surfaces of the housing.
As the flowmeter is fully non-invasive, there is no contact between the sensors and the flowing media.
Therefore there is no pressure drop, no risk of corrosion with aggressive media and no lost production during installation and commissioning.
Furthermore, the KATflow 160 incorporates a time programmable totaliser and average, total and differential flow calculators to minimise the work carried out by the operator. Request a free brochure from Katronic Technologies ...
